I'm a label reader too; it's a real eye opener. I think yogurt is one of those foods that has a health halo around it. Everyone loves it and thinks it's so healthy but most are loaded with sugar. Just like the one you showed.

I've seen other items listed as zero grams of sugar but the ingredient list also shows sugar. I think it's like when a product lists zero trans fat but the ingredient list has partially hydrogenated oil. As long as it's less than 0.5% companies are allowed to list it as zero. It's really misleading.

Canada has made huge changes in their nutritional labeling so that the sugar intake is clear and honest. There is some criticism that natural sugars (in fruit) as being counted in the number too, as opposed to just added sugar. Anyways, I'm proud of the steps my country is taking.
